Pass It On-W
I received different strokes from different folks,
On my criticism on verse and forms of poetry
I know for certain, the critics are legless creatures
Who have the tendencies to teach others how to walk.
For which I had no intention at all to pass with credit.
First stroke, don’t take this as a class of dummies
Trying to play professor P than this not for you
I intend if my followers can write a poem as I wish.
If this is too much, pass it on, allow others to write.
Second stroke, I don’t need a PhD degree
Don’t ask to mutate poetry; I am on a quest to do,
Even if us younger folk bastardize some forms.
I am an egoist, I can live that.
If I allow free poetry, I am the one raping the poetry
I am not forcing people to write, pass it on if you wish.
For the sake of expressing my thoughts on targets general
Knowing if artists followed the rules, still be banging on pots.
I have passed through these all, but not passed out yet.
If i am still not within passing level, my apologies, folks.
